Mental well-being of majority and minority young adults in Germany during the pandemic

In a new article in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health, IntegrateYouth team members Stephanie Plenty, Olivia Spiegler and Chloe Bracegirdle, together with Jörg Dollman at MZES in Germany, compare mental well-being among young adults with ethnic minority and majority background before and after the onset of the Covid pandemic in Germany. Overall, they find no signs of declines in young adults’ mental well-being at the early stage of the pandemic, and that changes were mostly similar across ethnic groups. Respondents’ mental well-being was (on average) worse when they were younger. Nevertheless, increased ethnic discrimination and health worries are serious problems among some ethnic minorities.
